Happy Coachella!! If you’ve found your way to this blog post, that means you’re probably heading out to Coachella this weekend or next. For two weekends of April, Coachella floods our Instagram feeds making everyone that isn’t there instantly jealous. While there’s more to this festival than capturing the perfect picture, it’s on your mind and everyone else’s minds.

Pose
Play with different poses with the different backdrops. Have fun with it!
